Chapter 24 The belated Bayan League meeting
In early July, Bayan at the intersection of the Sirha River and the Zabuhan River.
Bayan is a rich place, and it is mostly known in the inner and outer Mongolia.
When the Sirha River flows to the Zabukhan River, it passes through flat deserts. When the flood season comes, the river water will flood everywhere. After a thousand years, an oasis area south of the Zabukhan River is about a hundred miles long from north to south and about thirty miles wide from east to west is formed.
Here, the water and grass are abundant, the rivers are crisscrossing, and a large number of birds and beasts gather here. They can not only feed a large number of livestock, but also hunt and fish, so this is called.
This was originally a nomadic area of the Huit Banner, but this Huit Banner moved from Qinghai. The leader was a descendant of Luobuzang Danjin, who had rebelled in Qinghai. For some reason, this person did not leave any descendants. Although the bannerman was there, the leader was not re-appointed by the Qing court.
As the actual ruler of the Zasaktu Khan tribe, Bunirat would naturally not let this place go. He asked his adopted son to command the banner in the name of Zaisang, and he moved the banner here.
The Zasaktu Khan tribe had a total of nineteen banners. If the owners of each banner were not allowed to change their garrison without authorization, but Bunirat still did this.
Of course, the banner he used was that his original station was destroyed by the flood and had to be relocated. If the Qing court blamed him, he would have sufficient reasons, not to mention that his original station was not far from Bayan.
On this day, Bayan suddenly became lively.
It turned out that although Bunirat did not lead his troops to Ulyasutai soon, the order to gather the flags was issued. This day was the farthest from here, and the last flag of the center left wing south of Kusugur Lake had just arrived. Bunirat immediately held a alliance.
The purpose of the Manghui is only one.
"Do you want to go to Ulyasutai?"
Speaking of which, there are nineteen flags in the entire Zasaktu Khan tribe, and the flags gathered in two months are only about 5,000. You should know that the previous Zasaktu Khan tribe had a total population of more than 50,000 households!
The Manghui was also held in the square in front of Bayan's only Zhao Temple. Five thousand flag-dians sat cross-legged on the square, and nineteen flag-owners sat upright on the platform. There was usually a lama for preaching. At this time, a large carpet was added on the ground, and nineteen people sat around the carpet.
Although they have converted to Lamaism, the Mongke was carried out according to the shamanistic rituals. They had already sacrificed to heaven and earth before, indicating that everyone's heart was pure before the Mongke, and the next step was the official Mongke.
For Bunirat, even without Ulya Sutai's order, he would take advantage of the opportunity of the Alliance to gather the flag caps of the Khan tribe. After all, Kobdo has changed his master.
Everyone started talking, and it can be seen that the old and weak banner owner naturally suggested that the banner owner should be driven to Ulyasutai strictly according to the orders of General Ulyasutai, and the young banner owner would not agree.
Some were obviously swearing allegiance to our Qing Dynasty, and actually suggested attacking Kobdo directly, while others were ambiguous, "it was all based on the command of the prince."
Thirty-five-year-old Bunirat hesitated.
Although I have sacrificed the world just now, it is not necessarily guaranteed that every speech comes from the heart. These banner owners have different attitudes towards the Qing Dynasty. Those who have been awarded the title of the Qing court are naturally loyal, and those who have not received are obviously both ends of the rat.
In any case, no one in the field dared to stand up and claim to join Truchen.
Bunirat once visited Truqin and knew the truth and reality there. He naturally knew that he would have a greater chance of winning. However, although he was the prince of the Khan tribe and was the actual leader of the Khan tribe, he could control the right wing left flag and the Huit flag. He still didn't know what the attitude of Yuzhe was.
What's more, the Truqins have completely eliminated the Taiji class at this time. Will their own tribe not be like this in the future?
This is what he cannot accept the most.
Seeing that Bunirat didn't speak, everyone began to remain silent, but Bunirat needed to make a decision as soon as possible. The owners of each banner came here with the bannermen. They didn't carry much food and fodder, and suddenly gathered 5,000 troops, which consumed a lot of Bayan Oasis.
He must make a decision as soon as possible.
It was a good day with clear sky. Bunirat finally looked at the sky and then closed his eyes. He was about to let Changshengtian decide...
"Dadada..."
A rush of horse hooves interrupted his prayers.
After a while, a strong knight came to the platform.
"Huntai Ji, someone is visiting"
The Qing court did not appoint Huntaiji and Dataiji in each ministries, but the ministries still called Bunirat as Huntaiji according to previous customs. His father, Chiwan Balezhai, who is almost 70 years old this year, is naturally a great Khan.
"Who?"
"The men and horses from Hutuktu, the great lama of Ulan Gumuzhao Temple, went to Kulun"
At this time, Zhao Temples were spread all over Khalkha. In order to support Zhao Temple, the banners also gathered some herders to grazle near Zhao Temple to protect them. They also provided young and strong herders with protection when they traveled.
Although Tanu Ulianghai and Kobdo have announced their joining Truqin, the temple is a transcendent existence. Even the evil Truqin dares not stop the lamas from going to Kulun to listen to the lectures of the Living Buddha Zhebuzundanba. In that case, it will arouse public anger.
At this time, the lamas of Ulangumu were able to come out of these two places.
However, starting from Ulangumu and going straight east along the southern foot of Tangnu Mountain, how did they get around here?
“There must be something strange here!”
Hutuktu, the great lama of Ulangumu, is the only great lama in the Great Lake Basin, and there are only two people in the entire Khalkha who have the title of "Hutuktu". The other one is naturally the Living Buddha of Zhebuzundanba. It can be said that Cebekdorji is the existence of Khalkha after Dhalkha.
As Bunirat stood up, the other 18 Banners also stood up.
Seeing the flag owners standing up, the flag owners under the stage also stood up quickly.
Bunirat asked, "Has the great lama come in person?"
"No, it was his eldest disciple who led the team, with more than 30 people"
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief. If Hutuktu came in person, they had to go and greet him in person, but since he was his eldest disciple, it would be different.
Bunirat thought more than that.
"Hutuktu escaped from Turgut and had an irreconcilable grudge with Qitad. It is impossible for him to surrender to the Truqins, and the Truqins cannot blatantly get rid of them. Could it be that they want to ask for my opinion?"
"You wait here later, I'll go and come"
This is to go alone to meet the eldest disciple of Hutuktu, and everyone is naturally speechless.
Bunirat soon met the eldest disciple of Hutuktu, and there were several lamas around him. The rest were probably all strong herders from Wulan Gumu Gongzhao Temple.
But when Bunirat saw those "herders", his heart couldn't help but feel "splitting".
"This is not a tribal cavalry. It is even more elite than the flag captains of each Khan's division, and they are all very young!"
Thinking of this, he turned around and ordered: "Go back and tell the banner owners that the alliance will postpone the meeting for one hour, and I will entertain Bandida well"
Chapter completed!
